Symbolic dynamics is partly the study of walks in a directed graph. By a walk, here we mean a morphism to the graph from the Cayley graph of the monoid of non-negative integers. Sets of these walks are also important in other areas, such as…

The study on parity signed graphs was initiated by Acharya and Kureethara very recently and then followed by Zaslavsky etc.. Let $(G,\sigma)$ be a signed graph on $n$ vertices. If $(G,\sigma)$ is switch-equivalent to $(G,+)$ at a set of…

Signed graphs are studied since the middle of the last century. Recently, the notion of homomorphism of signed graphs has been introduced since this notion captures a number of well known conjectures which can be reformulated using the…

A signed graph $ (G, \Sigma)$ is a graph positive and negative ($\Sigma $ denotes the set of negative edges). To re-sign a vertex $v$ of a signed graph $ (G, \Sigma)$ is to switch the signs of the edges incident to $v$. If one can obtain $…

Signed graphs are graphs with signed edges. They are commonly used to represent positive and negative relationships in social networks. While balance theory and clusterizable graphs deal with signed graphs to represent social interactions,…

In this paper we introduce the functional centrality as a generalization of the subgraph centrality. We propose a general method for characterizing nodes in the graph according to the number of closed walks starting and ending at the node.…

Signed graphs are graphs whose edges get a sign $+1$ or $-1$ (the signature). Signed graphs can be studied by means of graph matrices extended to signed graphs in a natural way. Recently, the spectra of signed graphs have attracted much…

Let $G$ be a graph and $A$ be its adjacency matrix. A graph $G$ is invertible if its adjacency matrix $A$ is invertible and the inverse of $G$ is a weighted graph with adjacency matrix $A^{-1}$. A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ is a weighted…

Signed graphs are an emergent way of representing data in a variety of contexts where antagonistic interactions exist. These include data from biological, ecological, and social systems. Here we propose the concept of communicability for…

Let $S=(G, \sigma)$ be a signed graph where $G=(V, E)$ is a graph called the underlying graph of $S$ and $\sigma:E(G) \rightarrow \{+,~-\}$. Let $f:V(G) \rightarrow \{1,2,\dots,|V(G)|\}$ such that $\sigma(uv)=+$ if and only if $f(u)$ and…

Lov\'{a}sz proved that two graphs $G$ and $H$ are isomorphic if $\hom(K,G) = \hom(K,H)$ for all graphs $K$, where $\hom(G_1,G_2)$ denotes the number of homomorphisms from $G_1$ to $G_2$. Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k showed that it suffices to count…

A signed graph $\Sigma$ is a pair $(G,\sigma)$, where $G=(V,E)$ is the underlying graph in which each edge is assigned $+1$ or $-1$ by the signature function $\sigma:E\rightarrow\{-1,+1\}$. In this paper, we extend the extensively applied…

Characterizations graphs of some classes to induce periodic Grover walks have been studied for recent years. In particular, for the strongly regular graphs, it has been known that there are only three kinds of such graphs. Here, we focus on…

We give a characterization of when a signed graph $G$ with a pair of distinguished edges $e_1, e_2 \in E(G)$ has the property that all cycles containing both $e_1$ and $e_2$ have the same sign. This answers a question of Zaslavsky.
